We've seen the Dash Wallet in elastic fabric become a hit -- now, by popular demand, the [bulk-free wallet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pioneer-wallet) comes in black and brown leather. The leather Dash 2.0 is completely redesigned -- it opens vertically, accommodating for easy pull and use of the [RFID chips on credit cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mvst-rfidblocking-alcantara-slim-wallet).

The leather Dash 2.0 has three compartments; two for debit or credit cards (with the quickdraw slot) and another for storing the rest of cash and IDs.

If the original Dash wallet had a sportier look, the 2.0 is more dressy and business appropriate. It would make a thoughtful gift for an active young professional or just anyone who loves neat products that save hassle and unnecessary bulk.
